Fun: Add Internet neighbors — a personal blogroll with little introductions #86

Description

@philipithomas

Give each personal site a small doorway to the rest of its author's internet. Instead of a bare list of links, an author can write “Mina makes beautiful things out of wood” or “The best notes on very long walks.”

First version

  • An optional “Internet neighbors” section with up to twelve manually curated sites.
  • Each entry has a name, URL, and one short personal introduction; authors can reorder, preview, and remove entries.
  • A small “Visit a neighbor” link chooses one of the author's listed sites and clearly shows its name and destination before navigation.
  • Everything works with ordinary websites, including sites outside Postcard.

Acceptance

  • Only the owner can edit the list; the section stays absent when disabled or empty.
  • Links and introductions render safely, allow ordinary HTTP/HTTPS destinations, and require no automatic remote metadata fetching.
  • Long names and URLs fit on mobile, and every destination is usable by keyboard.
  • Changes appear correctly on subdomains, custom domains, and SOLO sites.
  • Test ownership, validation, ordering, empty state, and rendering.

A small, human-curated blogroll would be the useful first release. Automatic reciprocal links or a network-wide webring can be considered separately.
